Douglas Booth portrays bounty hunter Red Bill in That Dirty Black Bag, a gritty new series that premiered on AMC+ on March 10, 2022.
That Dirty Black Bag is a gruesome, unflinching look at the Old West. It fuses the iconic feel of Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Westerns with brutality exceeding even Tarantino's takes on the genre.
In anticipation of The Dirty Black Bag Season 1 DVD release, we caught up with Booth to discuss how he got through the intense filming process and what he's looking toward for the future.
Warning: This interview contains mild spoilers for Season 1 of That Dirty Black Bag.
That Dirty Black Bag feels like nothing you've ever done before. What is it about the Western genre that appeals to you?
As you said, I've never done anything like this, so that's a huge draw. Throughout my whole career, I've just tried to play very different characters,...

If you know your mythical creatures, the title (and, indeed, the IMDb synopsis) of this period horror movie might give you unreasonable expectations for its content. However, instead of the monster from Jewish folklore, the Limehouse Golem here is essentially a nick-name for a (fictional) Jack the Ripper-like slasher terrorising the East End of Victorian London.
Directed by Juan Carlos Medina (his English language debut after 2012′s Painless) and adapted from a 1994 novel by Peter Ackroyd (Dan Leno and the Limehouse Golem), The Limehouse Golem opens with former music hall star Elizabeth “Little Lizzie” Cree (Bates Motel’s Olivia Cooke) being arrested for the murder of her husband, failed journalist John Cree (Sam Reid).

To mark the release of The Limehouse Golem on 26th December, we’ve been given 3 copies to give away on Blu-ray.
Set on the unforgiving, squalid streets of Victorian London in 1880, our tale begins in the baroque, grandiose music hall where the capital’s most renowned performer Dan Leno (Douglas Booth – Pride And Prejudice And Zombies, The Riot Club) takes to the stage. The whimsical thespian performs a monologue, informing his dedicated audience of the ghastly fate of a young woman who had once adorned this very stage, his dear friend Elizabeth Cree (Olivia Cooke – TV’s The Secret Of Crickley Hall, The Quiet Ones, Ready Player One); for the beguiling songstress is facing up to her forthcoming death by hanging, having been accused of murdering her husband John Cree (Sam Reid – ’71, Belle). Lizzie’s death seems inevitable, until Detective Inspector John Kildare (Bill Nighy – Their Finest, The...

MaryAnn’s quick take… Lush sensationalism and Dickensian social justice collide in 1880s London, and if there isn’t quite enough of either, it’s still a slice of satisfying gothic horror. I’m “biast” (pro): nothing

(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
Lush sensationalism and Dickensian social justice collide in The Limehouse Golem, and somehow even though it doesn’t offer quite enough of either, it still ends up a slice of satisfying gothic horror. In 1880 London, in the poor titular East End district, a series of vicious murders rattles the city, killings so brutal that only a monster like the mythical Golem of Jewish lore could have committed them. (Limehouse was a heavily Jewish community at the time.) Scotland Yard’s Detective Inspector John Kildare is on the case, reluctantly: he...

Bill Nighy’s detective leads a fine cast in this deliciously atmospheric adaptation of Peter Ackroyd’s Victorian murder mystery
All the world’s a bloody stage in this gothic Victorian East End melodrama, splendidly adapted from a 1994 novel by Peter Ackroyd. A tale of theatrical murder drenched in the rich hues of classic-period Hammer, this gaslit treat sets Bill Nighy’s Scotland Yard detective on the trail of a grisly killer in 1880s London. Swinging between the ghoulish gaiety of the music hall and the grim stench of the morgue, the second feature from Insensibles/Painless director Juan Carlos Medina is a deliciously subversive affair, nimbly adapted by super-sharp screenwriter Jane Goldman and vivaciously played by an impressive ensemble cast.
“Let us begin, my friends, at the end,” drawls our host, drawing back the curtain on a city terrorised by a killer named after a beast from Jewish folklore.

Bill Nighy plays the detective in this racy, feminist look at pre-Ripper London, cleverly adapted from Peter Ackroyd’s novel by Jane Goldman
“Find out all you can about … George Gissing, Karl Marx and Dan Leno!” With these bizarre instructions to his uncomprehending sergeant, the dashing police inspector at the heart of an occult Victorian murder mystery introduces a startling list of celebrity suspects: a novelist, a revolutionary philosopher and a music hall megastar.
Bill Nighy takes a rare non-comic role as the dapper detective John Kildare in 19th-century London, on the trail of a pre-Ripper serial killer nicknamed the Limehouse Golem. Each of these famous figures could be the psychotic murderer, but Kildare’s fourth – and prime – suspect was a fictional failed playwright, one George Cree, who has just been found dead. Cree’s widow, former music hall turn Lizzie (Olivia Cooke), is now charged with his murder, but...

Bill Nighy gets to play leading man for a change in Juan Carlos Medina’s Victorian serial killer thriller The Limehouse Golem. Based on the 1994 Peter Ackroyd novel Dan Leno and the Limehouse Golem, the film tracks a serial killer stalking the squalid streets of Victorian London in 1880 — eight years before Jack the Ripper would make infamous headlines. Nighy plays Detective Inspector John Kildare, who is tasked with tracking down the mysterious murderer who slaughters several unconnected victims and leaves cryptic messages written in blood. The film, like Ackroyd’s novel, blends fact and fiction, mixing historical figures like Karl Marx and music hall comedian Dan Leno, all set against a dreary, blood-soaked backdrop.
Nighy’s part was originally intended for the late Alan Rickman, who had to leave the part due to his deteriorating health. Olivia Cooke, Douglas Booth, Eddie Marsan round out the cast. After a Tiff premiere...

One of my favourite films at Tiff 2016, The Limehouse Golem, directed by Juan Carlos Medina and written by Jane Goldman, takes us to the bloody streets and raunchy theatre halls of late 19th century London. Rich in detail and harrowing in suspense, it combines the traditional British murder-mystery with giallo-styled death and mayhem. And now you can get a taste with the first trailer released from Lionsgate. A serial killer is plaguing the streets of London. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Cree (Olivia Cooke), a former music hall performer, is charged with the murder of her husband. Detective Kildare (Bill Nighy) must tackle both these cases, learning about Elizabeth's strange life, her relationship with fellow performer Dan Leno (Douglas Booth), and the beliefs of the locals of...

It took fifteen years of perseverance—acquiring the rights, losing them, and reacquiring them at the behest of screenwriter Jane Goldman stoking the fire—but producer Stephen Woolley finally got Peter Ackroyd‘s 1994 novel on the big screen as The Limehouse Golem. There were some big names attached from Merchant Ivory originating plans to Woolley hoping for Neil Jordan years before developing it with Terry Gilliam. Don’t let this taint your opinion when peering upon Juan Carlos Medina‘s name on the director’s chair, though. Despite being only his sophomore feature, there’s a lot to like as he imbues the proceedings with a nightmarish air of mystery and suspense. It’s a dark Sherlock Holmes-esque case bolstered by a heartfelt desire for justice exactly when it appears impossible to find.

We have a clip with a splendid musical number featuring Douglas Booth to share with you.

The whimsical thespian performs a monologue, informing his dedicated audience of the ghastly fate of a young woman who had once adorned this very stage, his dear friend Elizabeth Cree (Olivia Cooke); for the beguiling songstress is facing up to her forthcoming death by hanging, having been accused of...

'The greatest love of my life? Oh please. This is not a therapy session'
Geoffrey Rush, 62, was born in Australia. After completing an English degree at the University of Queensland, he went to Paris to study acting at the Jacques Lecoq school, before returning to Australia to work in theatre. His role in the 1996 film Shine won him worldwide recognition, and he became the first Australian-born actor to win an Oscar; he has since had Academy Award nominations for his performances in Shakespeare In Love, Quills and The King's Speech, for which he won a Bafta. His latest film is The Book Thief. He is married with two children and lives in Melbourne.
When were you happiest?
During my Queensland childhood, on the days when I avoided the chlorine-infused shower gauntlet and being corralled into the deep end of the school pool.
What is your greatest fear?
Being alone...

Fresh off a successful festival circuit run of his historical thriller Painless, director Juan Carlos Medina's next project will be an adaptation of the Peter Ackroyd novel, Dan Leno & the Limehouse Golem. Announced at the Cannes film festival today, the script is written by Jane Goldman (Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class), and will be produced by Stephen Woolley (The Crying Game, Byzantium). I read the book, a crime thriller set in the the dance halls and libraries of Victorian London, last year, and it is wonderfully dark and delicious. Ackroyd's work is full of great detail of the rich atmosphere of the era. Certainly, Victorian London has been seen a lot on film, but I think a fresh perspective, especially from a non-uk director, is...

Back in August last year, we reported that Warner Bros had snapped up the screen rights to Image Comics title Nonplayer, a month after its creator Nate Simpson won an an Eisner award for best newcomer.
Now there's an update with X-Men: First Class co-writer Jane Goldman telling The Playlist that she is working on the screenplay. David Heyman (Harry Potter, I Am Legend) and Roy Lee (The Ring, The Departed, How to Train Your Dragon) will produce the project.
The story follows Dana Stevens as she escapes her dull life with adventures in the mid-21st century's most popular online game, Warriors of Jarvath. Dana excels as an elite assassin in the virtual world, but actions inside the game extend beyond its boundaries.
Goldman said Nonplayer was "a really wonderful comic." She added: "It's futuristic, it's incredible. Science fiction is not a genre I'm used to, but it's my favourite.

Down in the Hug Bunker, we’re pretty big fans of flame-haired screenwriter Jane Goldman, so it was a pleasant surprise to find out that she’s pretty fond of us too!
Not only did she tell us how much she liked the site, but she also let us know the progress of Kick-Ass 2, what she thinks of X-Men: First Class (she’s seen it), and her next projects, the adaptation of Dan Leno and the Limehouse Golem and several things she was very cagey about.

I was truly happy with Jane Goldman's adaptation of "Kick-Ass" for Lionsgate. Other than the finale, she was able to keep the essence of the comic in true form. So I guess this comes as good news for fans of Peter Ackroyd's tome Dan Leno And The Limehouse Golem as Goldman will be adapting for Stephen Woolley and Elizabeth Karlsen's London-based Number 9 Films. The crime story, set up with Film4 and the U.K. Film Council, is set against the music halls of Victorian London and follows a Jack-the Ripper-style serial killer nicknamed the Limehouse Golem and the rise and fall of a vaudeville star. Blighty-born Goldman's scriptwriting credits also include Stardust, The Debt and upcoming releases The Woman in Black and X-Men: First Class. Number 9 is also in talks with helmer Neil Jordan (Interview With the Vampire) to direct Byzantium, based on Moira Buffini's eponymous play.

Britain's cottonmill workers used to dance it. Then it became a mark of shame. Now clog dancing has returned to where it belongs – the streets
The streets of Newcastle have begun to echo with a sound that has not been heard since the industrial revolution. A sharp, rhythmic knocking can be heard among the Saturday crowds in Eldon Square, one of the city's busiest intersections. It sounds a little like the clatter of hooves, though there are no horses in sight.
What the shoppers do not realise is that they are about to be ambushed by the biggest clog dance event staged in the UK. More than a hundred volunteers have, literally, got their clogs on and been coached to perform a mass routine. For 10 minutes, the dancers bring the city to a standstill. There are people clogging on oil drums, between the tables outside Pret a Manger and up the steps of Grey's monument.

Jason Solomons on Iñárritu, the screen version of Fela!, and the rise and rise of Jane Goldman
Sin nombre
For his, er, understated new movie Biutiful, Mexican director Alejándro Gonzáles Iñárritu seems to have undergone a modest name change. Posters for the film, which stars Javier Bardem in a gritty Barcelona, proclaim that the mooted awards contender is "a film by: Iñárritu". Although he still introduces himself as Alejándro, the director of Babel and Amores Perros has clearly become a one-man brand, like Prince, or Madonna, or McG.
Mr Follow Follow Fela
Trash saw the musical Fela! at the National theatre last week and enjoyed it thoroughly, even if though it lacks real drama. While Kuti's music is energetic and raw enough to propel any action, I kept wondering how Steve McQueen will be making it into film. The director and Turner prize-winning artist will be working on it with Chiwitel Ejiofor,...
